All of this is encouraging to the family of Stephen Halton, Jr. Back in 2014, someone robbed him and shot him to death as he headed to work. The crime has never been solved.

“We can’t bring my brother back. But anything we can do to allow another family not to go through this, the pain and agony we have felt now two years later, is amazing," his sister, Tanesha Halton, said.

A new county prosecutor will be taking over in a matter of months and that is likely to be Michael O’Malley. Through a spokesman he said he had not yet seen the new policy. So it’s unclear how much of it will carry on when he takes office.

The Halton family is anxious for the increase in gun testing to spark a break in the murder mystery.

“Anything that, hopefully, will bring our case to an end, and hopefully it does.”
